a crisis. but one region for two weeks into a year. that is definitely. going to. be complete you. probably wouldn't want. to me i'd save this money to shoo invest much on the whole site because if you are not healthy i don't think our communities will be default. if our b.p. is down today we are fully one so even though one is down damn is declares that we
10:47 am
didn't appear we're not good at service unless we would for them to base and that was something you can just attend to done without taken down by the us and. i am my god the builder is spot and a building keep on coming down it's only because of dairy. to see what he says and who can and that is in. the heat is always too much sure but we can do otherwise would they vote because he actually did oh yeah. from the government. all of us for possible want to. know before we did this is only before the committee this in yeah about community by as if idea drinking from a distant world. but of all what. there's a comedian more style so that he can improve the health status of people.
10:48 am
in. this growth reflected by the economic indicators does not seem to reach the public clinics of northern ghana. the district director says that the government is doing its best and gives the free mosquito net program as an example something he recently set up the government of an affidavit the ghana has of his children how do we get a lengthy list war on malaria from several you know standpoints daily allies that we need to actually fight the vector or the vector being the most to the north of us to do and i saw recently in fact just as recent as two we said will the government of ghana but i want to get
10:49 am
a house of his son in bed with. fifty percent of the population were given you know bed this hound and yes they've been placed recruiter volunteers who went into every house and there would to how much and would loose and what rules because there were instances where let me just go to the well we don't have been near to neil and my husband it and just drew not that they were refused and he just refined and lived in a community sort of governor when i went out of the our way plus i don't support from apartness to provide not only the bed but also believes and they do is always so don't have the rope so to provide iraq and then hummus they provide hummus and then recruited their volunteers and paid them a lower sr who are around near the bed nets in the pits they've been peaceful people. the district health director blames foreigners for the health systems poor condition. he claims that the fault lies with immigrants who have no
10:50 am
papers and enter northern ghana from neighboring countries i love people who are in year i miss sharing the lives of those that we have you know i yet not in because they are not nationals and they have also want to reduce and so do i kill in the numbers does it raise and that's how come you realize that our budget that very much a budget that the government you know chairs out and wiley were diverted for sure because they don't anticipate and if i do don't. do your numbers of people illegal immigrants who are here and but to speak to him in our you know look at things that are provided for in a national that also is a problem. in
10:51 am
two thousand and eleven ghana's economy growth rate reached fourteen point four percent. using the profits from gold oil as its driving force ghana became at least on paper a middle income country. and is the ninth country in africa to reach this position. the i.m.f. policies and the government's reform certainly played their own part in reaching this level. we have a growth in mining in all sectors we have. checked or but most importantly we have growth in the service industry you know. and so there is a diversification of economic growth. however
10:52 am
as the economy grew so did social disparities. the benefits of growth have not been felt by the majority of the population who are left to struggle daily for survival . at the same time they are required to repay the success of loans that the government received from the. prosperity is only achieved by a small elite that lives lavishly in the capital's good neighborhoods behind fences and barbed wire. according to a two thousand and twelve gallup poll fifty three percent of ghana or about twelve point seven million people cannot afford the cost of food only four percent stated
10:53 am
that they are able to live on their income. it's it's clear that you know economic growth does not necessarily translate into poverty reduction and to reduce poverty we need to have. the authorities here vetting infrastructure education because the same time the i.m.f. is telling the government that actually you have to cut back on expenditure which includes pay for public sector and. now when you talk. to the very poor. when the government is spending too much it is crowding out the private sector taking away from detector of skilled people who prefer to work for the government as another private sector but also the spending and the boring. the government is
10:54 am
crowding out capital that could be directed to the private sector so the reform will not happen overnight it's a long term process and probably true you know not hiring new. new theory seven when people retire did you kind of things it's not like you need to. do the work for us in the public sector immediately. two thousand and nine when. suddenly the. financial markets on the money markets come down the. same thing. as well so in other words you need. to international marketplace even if people. are already the betting is on the poor
10:55 am
and they will be more and more and they have even less. on their own. down because of the global rhythms that we've got a battering them. will release a report which says that economic reform in africa is actually accelerating eighty percent of all reforms in. two thousand and five two thousand and eight. in the well i mean. we have. speak. people are looking at the example of what happened in greece and what you know we have we have all those things those elements which we even intensify the process. the process of shock. the inequality that. already exists a way we grew we. we had and when we don't grow we had to.
10:56 am
because still in our communities women are going hungry in the lead season women lost in east and when it gets really bad they meet once every day once every two days so that their children can move and these i think should be the real indicators of what a middle income economy is is any child in ghana going to bed hungry. that should be an indicator is any woman dying in childbirth. avoidably that should be an indicator of how women are able to access the health services the education services the credit facilities the markets that should be the real indicator of what goofy's.
10:57 am
move.
10:58 am
i would rather ask questions for people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on r.t. question more. if
